Power conditioner or outlet?
Tastyfreeze....so power amp in wall outlet. How about preamp?Everything else in power conditioner 
Power conditioner or outlet?
Kalili.....I forgot to mention, I had built a dedicated circuit into the audio room to a 4 outlet high grade furutech (dark grey, don't know which model). So no interference from appliances. However, the shunyata power conditioner is plugged into ... 
Power conditioner or outlet?
Okay. So the opinion I read, plug your amp/preamp straight into wall is valid then. Perhaps okay for other components?What I have read is that a good power conditioner can clean up the fed power and improve...i suppose much like a really good powe...

Help with interconnects?
Good point. Although, there seems to be a consensus that power cables can interfere with interconnects. But, my problem is just figuring out the best way to connect all my components for best performance and SQ 
Help with interconnects?
Okay. Man, this is difficult to figure out for a newbie like me...a maze of inputs, outputs and interconnects!

SQ lacking
Tomcy6....the speakers don't sound bad, in fact they sound "good" to me but not WOW. Maybe it's the room? For the speakers, the chain for cd is cd-dac-preamp-Dspeaker room correction (haven't calibrated yet)-power amp-speakers. On the headphones, ... 
SQ lacking
My audio room is my bedroom. There are so many things in the way, and so much restriction for speaker placement, that I purchased the Dspeaker correction device. That will help the speakers which sound good but aren't wowing me yet. Headphones, we... 
SQ lacking
I am going to try this, eliminating the preamp in the chain, but one would think that if you have a good preamp that the SQ would be quite good. I am trying to figure this out...perhaps my ears require more than what the Sennheiser delivers. I don... 
SQ lacking
Oh, I think maybe cd transport-dac-preamp because if I go directly from cd transport to headphone amp then I can't listen to speakers without having to disconnect interconnects all the time?
